In this deeply personal episode of Tell Me Where I'm Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean open up about the lifelong challenges that come with compulsive eating. They share candid reflections on their journeys with Mounjaro (tirzepatide) and how this medication has offered some much-needed breathing space from the constant stress of food addiction.This is a heartfelt conversation about mental and physical health, shame, and the daily realities of navigating a world that values fat people less. The hosts speak openly about what it means to seek help, the emotional toll of weight stigma, and the relief that can come from feeling like food is not always in control.They also touch on the chaos of trying to buy Lady Gaga tickets online and the joy of a recent open mic night performance. But at the heart of this episode is a vulnerable and honest look at what it means to survive and to find moments of peace in a world that often feels unkind.Enjoy the ride!About the HostsJosh Leuner is a London-based singer and plant-geek.
